Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of secondary batteries, in particular to a secondary battery cell and winding formation system thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The lithium ion battery (one kind of secondary batteries) is widely used in the fields of electronic products, automobiles, electric vehicles, aerospace, micro-electromechanical systems, energy storage and the like. As the application environment and conditions tend to be more complex and rigorous, high requirements are proposed to the usage safety performance, energy density and manufacturing cost of the lithium-ion battery.

In the prior art, the purpose of improving energy density is achieved by configuring a groove on an electrode plate and welding an electrode tab in the groove. However, the process is realized by independent laser cleaning device and welding-winding device respectively at the present stage. The comprehensive cost of the devices is high, and the factory buildings occupy large space, with the result the manufacturing cost of the entire lithium battery is high. Furthermore, the laser cleaned groove on the electrode plate has an overheated perforation or a burned hole on the edge due to focal length fluctuation and deviation, such that a plenty of burrs are formed on a current collector on the edge of the groove; if the electrode plate with burrs is directly manufactured into a cell without processing, then the burrs will pierce the separator to cause internal short circuit, a fire disaster and other severe potential safety hazards. In the prior art, a thick adhesive tape is stuck in the groove to prevent the burrs from piercing the separator. However, sticking an adhesive tape in the groove will certainly increase the thickness of the cell, thus causing loss to energy density.

The anode electrode plate 101 comprises: an anode current collector 1011; and an anode slurry layer 1012 disposed on the surface of the anode current collector 1011.

The cathode electrode plate 103 comprises: a cathode current collector 1031; and a cathode slurry layer 1032 disposed on the surface of the cathode current collector 1031.

The separator 105 is disposed between the anode electrode plate 101 and the cathode electrode plate 103.

The anode electrode plate 101 is formed with: an anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013, provided with the anode current collector 1011 at the bottom and the anode slurry layer 1012 on the periphery, and receiving the anode electrode tab 102 therein, wherein the anode electrode tab 102 is electrically connected to the anode current collector 1011 at the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013.

The cathode electrode plate 103 is formed with: a cathode electrode tab receiving groove 1033, provided with the cathode current collector 1031 at the bottom and the cathode slurry layer 1032 on the periphery, and receiving the cathode electrode tab 104 therein, wherein the cathode electrode tab 104 is electrically connected to the cathode current collector 1031 at the cathode electrode tab receiving groove 1033.

The anode electrode plate 101 is further formed with: an anode electrode plate notch 1014, located on the side edge of the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013 and extending through the anode electrode plate 101; The cathode electrode plate 103 is further formed with: a cathode electrode plate notch 1034, located on the side edge of the cathode electrode tab receiving groove 1033 and extending through the cathode electrode plate 103.

In the secondary battery cell 1 according to the present invention, the anode electrode tab 102 is received in the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013, and the cathode electrode tab 104 is received in the cathode electrode tab receiving groove 1033, thus effectively improving the energy density of the secondary battery cell 1; the anode electrode plate notch 1014 can remove the burrs formed on the current collector 1011 of the edge part of the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013 during formation, and the cathode electrode plate notch 1034 can effectively remove the burrs formed on the current collector 1031 of the edge part of the cathode electrode tab receiving groove 1033 during formation, thus effectively preventing the secondary battery cell 1 from generating internal short circuit, and in turn improving the safety performance of the secondary battery cell 1 while ensuring a high energy density.

In the secondary battery cell 1 according to the present invention the secondary battery cell 1 is a wound-type cell.

In the secondary battery cell 1 according to the present invention, with reference to FIG. 5(a), in one embodiment, the length of the anode electrode plate notch 1014 in the length direction L is 0.9-1.2 times of the length of the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013; and the width of the anode electrode plate notch 1014 in the width direction W is 0.2-0.8 times of the width of the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013.

Since the second insulating adhesive tape T2 is stuck, the cathode active substance of the cathode slurry layer 1032 dissociating to the anode electrode tab 102 is reduced; the cathode active substance of the cathode slurry layer 1032 dissociating and diffusing to the aligned anode electrode tab 102 is reduced; further, the cathode active substance of the cathode slurry layer 1032 concentrating at the anode electrode tab 102 during the charging and discharging processes of the secondary battery is alleviated; and finally, the problem that the cathode active substance is separated out at the anode electrode tab 102 is alleviated, and in the meanwhile contacting and generating internal short circuit of the anode electrode tab 102 and the cathode electrode plate 103 is avoided when the burrs at the anode electrode tab 102 pierce the separator 105.

In the secondary battery cell 1 according to the present invention, with reference to FIG. 2(a), in one embodiment, the anode electrode plate 101 is further formed with an anode paired recess 1015, provided with the anode current collector 1011 at the bottom and the anode slurry layer 1012 on the periphery, and located exactly on the back side of the anode electrode tab receiving groove 1013; and with reference to FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), in the present embodiment, the secondary battery cell 1 further comprises: a third insulating adhesive tape T3, stuck on the cathode slurry layer 1032 at a position aligned with the anode paired recess 1015 after the secondary battery cell 1 is wound and formed.

In the secondary battery cell 1 according to the present invention, with reference to FIG. 3(a), in one embodiment, the cathode electrode plate 103 is further formed with a cathode paired recess 1035, provided with the cathode current collector 1031 at the bottom and the cathode slurry layer 1032 on the periphery, and located exactly on the back side of the cathode electrode tab receiving groove 1033; and with reference to FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), in the present embodiment, the secondary battery cell 1 further comprises: a fourth insulating adhesive tape T4, stuck on the cathode paired recess 1035.

With reference to FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), in the present embodiment, the secondary battery cell 1 further comprises: a third insulating adhesive tape T3, stuck on the cathode slurry layer 1032 at a position aligned with the anode paired recess 1015 after the secondary battery cell 1 is wound and formed; and a fourth insulating adhesive tape T4, stuck on the cathode paired recess 1035.

In the secondary battery cell 1 according to the present invention, the first insulating adhesive tape T1, the second insulating adhesive tape T2, the third insulating adhesive tape T3 and the fourth insulating adhesive tape T4 are single-sided insulating adhesive tape or double-sided insulating adhesive tape. When double-sided insulating adhesive tapes are adopted, the double-sided insulating adhesive tape sticking areas are denser than the sticking areas when single-sided insulating adhesive tapes are used, such that the integrity of the secondary battery cell is enhanced, thus avoiding the area from protruding and becoming the largest deformation area after a reforming process of the secondary battery cell and the secondary battery cell expands due to charging and discharging.
